The sports journalist’s point of view
Paolo Ziliani wanted to comment on the “controversy” relating to the scudetto that Inter is preparing to win, targeting the two stars. Here’s how the sports journalist introduced the topic: “The last diversion in chronological order: the controversy over the second star – that of the twentieth scudetto – which Inter is about to pin to its chest thanks to the 14 point lead over second-placed AC Milan with 7 games to go. “But which second star – protests from many quarters -: what is involved here is the 2005-06 cardboard scudetto, the one assigned to Inter by the sporting justice system after Juventus’s relegation to Serie B due to the Calciopoli events. There are 19 real scudetti, if you really want to give Inter the second star, do it but with an asterisk that specifies: 20 scudetti, one of which is made of cardboard”.
Ziliani’s point of view

“I agree. I too am in favor of pinning a second star with an asterisk on the Inter shirt: but not to say that the 20 scudetti are too many, to say that they are few. And that they should be more. As they should be more the 19 championships of Milan, the 7 of Turin, the 3 of Rome and Naples, the 2 of Fiorentina. Because the truth is that of the 36 championships that the Roll of Honor recognizes today for Juventus, at least fifteen should be redistributed to their legitimate owners. Among which Inter is in the front row. You will say: and who says that? Certainly not me. The judges have said it on more than one occasion. Sports judges and judges ordinary”, the sports journalist pointed out.
